Questions About Self-hosting WebStudio

At a glance

The community member is self-hosting the WebStudio Builder and is having trouble accessing it from other devices on the same local network due to a CSRF token error. They are seeking guidance on the correct procedure for enabling external access and information on official documentation for self-hosting WebStudio. They also have questions about the limitations and permitted use cases for self-hosting, the differences between the self-hosted builder and self-hosted site, and the CMS integration options.

In the comments, another community member asks about the release timeline for the animation features currently located in the private-src directory. The original poster also receives a suggestion to check their network setup, a link to the self-hosting documentation, and information about the differences between the self-hosted and SaaS versions of WebStudio. However, there is no explicitly marked answer to the original poster's questions.

Hello,

I’m currently self-hosting the WebStudio Builder and would like to know how to access it from another PC on the same local network. Despite various attempts, I keep encountering a CSRF token error when accessing it externally. Could you provide the correct procedure for enabling access from other devices on the LAN?

Also, is there any official documentation available for self-hosting WebStudio?
What are the limitations or permitted use cases for self-hosting?

Additionally, could you explain the difference between the self-hosted builder and self-hosted site?
If I want to use a CMS, do I need to subscribe to the SaaS version of WebStudio and export the result? The documentation says CMS integration is available in the Site version—does that mean it can be configured through the GUI, or is it intended for manual coding after export?

Thank you in advance for your help.

One more question: I noticed that animation features are currently located in the private-src directory. Do you have any estimate on when these features will be released from beta and made publicly available?

all pro features are being checked upon publishing/exporting, so at the moment of publishing/exporting you need to be on a pro plan to use publish/export pro features, if you use builder hosted on webstudio cloud

I see. I understand about that.
Another question: how to connect to the builder with a non-localhost
Do you have any advice on

We would be grateful if you could tell us the official procedure.
I asked Dr. ChatGPT for help but he could not get around the CFSR token issue.
